Chapter 21 (2/2)

The stage was arranged to be at the center of the hall. It was a small round stage with soft sofa chairs placed at every angle. These seats surrounded the stage, forming a ring. After the audience greeted each other, they took their seats, ready to listen to this special concert.

Qi Mu sat in the second row, facing the east.

Unlike symphony concerts, the performers of an indoor concert could sit down and watch the others when they were not performing. So Qi Mu sat beside Tan Lao and Du Sheng, and he carefully listened to the other performances. These performers were all well-known classical musicians in Huaxia, and the first was a cellist.

The melodious and peaceful music resounded throughout the entire hall. Everyone in the audience wore a smile as they felt the mellow, heartfelt sound.

The musicians on the stage were performing slowly under the dazzling lights and, off the stage, a beautiful youth closed his eyes and listened carefully. Perhaps he heard something beautiful, for the young man couldn’t help but smile and applaud quietly in his heart.

This handsome young man was the most noticeable presence in the auditorium. Especially with the two elders by his side, many people couldn’t help but look at them a few more times. They felt as if their eyes were washed clean.

——Well, Tan Lao was a dignified and majestic old man, and Du Sheng could be called a handsome uncle.

But, compared to Xiao Qi, they were quite not so. . . worth looking at?

At the end of the song, everyone gave warm applause. They didn’t know why but the next performer waited for quite a while before he went up to the stage. He held a clarinet and soon, another melodious song was heard.

Seeing this, Tan Lao raised his eyebrows and said, “Wasn’t this one supposed to be a violinist? Du Sheng, go check what happened.”

Du Sheng nodded and quietly left in the direction of the preparation room.

Because everyone was sitting together, Du Sheng’s movement was quickly discovered by the others. Especially since. . . he was sitting next to Qi Mu. Naturally, it garnered a lot of attention.

In the auditorium, two positions were the most interesting.

One was Qi Mu. There were still many people who recognized him and, even if they didn’t, someone with such a good appearance would always make people want to look even more.

The other was on the opposite end——two empty seats in the west side.

Naturally, this indoor concert gave invitations to important people in the industry. How could there be people who were late or absent? So this was really surprising.

Qi Mu also looked at the two vacant seats for a while. He then whispered in Tan’s ear, “Tan Lao, those two seats. . .”

Tan Lao raised his head and looked across the stage at the two seats. He frowned and thought about it for a moment. He then shook his head and said, “The seats were arranged by Du Sheng, so I’m not sure. It’s probably someone from a magazine. They often travel, looking for news or interviews, so them being absent is normal.”

Qi Mu nodded in response.

He looked in that direction again. Those two seats were very eye-catching. He only looked for a while then looked away and continued to listen carefully to the performances.

Perhaps. . .

It really was only someone from a music magazine.
